Guys this is real time. The environments are low poly, as are the character models. The whole thing is just dressed up with modern graphical techniques. But clearly that makes a big difference since some people are even suggesting it might be CG, lol.
It's real time and looks nothing close to CG, so believe.

Crucial question. I want solo RE back, pl0x.Always-honest said:

The shaders make a huge difference since it's low poly and the textures are only "okay". As someone said previous, finally Nintendo has come up to snuff with modern graphical techniques. I wonder what other games Capcom has up it's sleeve since it supports MT Framework (Devil May Cry, MvC3, Dead Rising?)

PR statements aren't going to change my mind, I want to see it running! Like I said, I've got no problem with it being cut from recorded in-engine footage. The last time I saw a game which could switch through a bunch of scenes and locations like that in real time was the Chrono Trigger intro or something.

I would think that the entire 3D thing and the asymmetrical screens would be enough of a clue.

So, I'm still not convinced this video is realtime.
To those saying camera control confirms it: Can you actually rotate the camera in the demo? Then it's realtime. Can you just pan and zoom? That could be done with a pre-rendered video.
To those saying the 3D depth slider being usable confirms it: Can you actually adjust the 3D depth all the way from full 3D down to 2D? Then it's realtime. Can you just choose between full 3D and 2D, with nothing in-between (as someone reported), like with 3D movie playback? Then it's probably pre-rendered.
I agree that the models are pretty low-poly, and the textures aren't that amazing, but the demo still looks a lot better than everything else we've seen. It could just be a target render.

I don't think GAF works fantastically well for making statements such as "near-universal".Kayhan said:
I mean, people here absolutely loved Valkyria Chronicles and people couldn't care about Need For Speed in a million years, but VC has sold around 140k copies while Need For Speed: Underground broke 5 million copies.
That said, I would prefer co-op to be optional, but that's quite the statement to make.

I'm thinking that's not actually real-time. More like pre-rendered effects on in-game models.
I'd be more than happy to eat crow if wrong.

The press release confirms its in realtime.RoadHazard said:
Actually he can and i can say $199 you know why?Kayhan said:
Getting moms to buy a $249 handheld device and for the casuals its almost like giving up on mass market, which would be a shitty buisness decision.
$199 is a tested area for a nintendo handheld = it works $249 is not.

Have you seen the demo with your own eyes? Or have you just seen the video? Since we've got conflicting reports ("Definitely not real-time" VS "Confirmed to be real-time") I'm just not sure what do believe. I'm sure some people could be fooled into thinking it was real-time simply based on the fact that you have some camera control, even if it's not 3D camera control. Like I said, 2D camera control could be done with a pre-rendered video.

Resident Evil 2?
I'd really love to believe that any of the RE:R demo was actually being rendered in real-time by the 3DS; and not simply a playback of 3d video (which might fool folks into thinking it's realtime since it's in 3d)...
...it's just a bit hard to wrap my mind around the idea after seeing all the other games so far.
We'll see. I'm expecting the final product to look substantially worse than this (simpler hair, even lower poly counts, and half the AA samples).

Well, the reasoning would be that it's just a target render. They would be stupid to make it CG miles better than what the 3DS could possibly achieve.
I'm not saying the 3DS couldn't do it in real-time, it's just that the conflicting reports have me uncertain.

Well, that's a bit more convincing. But we all know that the first KZ2 demo was said to be "real-time", even though it was actually a target render. And the first RE5 video wasn't real-time either (not sure if anyone claimed it was, though).
